How to share iPhoto (esp. photo book Project) between two users on the same Mac without iCloud nor external drive?
Thank you in advance for any help
MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
You can not
You will need to find different Photo management software that meets yoru needs - Photos does not (and recent version of iPhotos did not either)

Thanks for the quick and clear answer.
Still a shame as this sounds to me like a very basic function, rather than all the multiple options available but that are hardly used.
Thanks again

Photos are saved on the Mac so no need for iCloud and not always access to internet
iCloud Photo Library is also a single user library and not meant for sharing a library.
Photos has been designed to share selected photos, but not the library. Each user maintains an own library and shares the best, selected photos with friend and family.
The work-around for sharing a library between users, that worked in iPhoto or Aperture does no longer work well in Photos, if you want to to share the system photo library (iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users). To make that work in Photos you have to log off, before the other user can open the library.
I understand, that you do not want to use an external drive with a portable Mac. You could partition the system drive, if your Mac has a large internal drive. If the internal drive is small, you will sooner or later need an external drive for your photos anyway.
